The scope of our project entails creating a system to assist with the use and learning of American Sign Language through image processing, machine learning and web-app database querying. The main objective of this project is twofold. The first goal is to be able to track hand gestures with a camera, recognize various ASL words or letters and translate these words or letters into text. The second goal is to be able to assist with learning sign language. This would be done by providing the program with text, and actively tracking a user’s hand gestures while providing feedback on the accuracy of the gestures compared to the input text.
